Google service to find the direction of prayer towards Mecca

According to a report from June 12, 2017, Google launched an application called Qibla Finder, intended to help people find the direction of prayer in Islam towards the city of Mecca, based on Augmented Reality.

After the users give permission to the application to trace their location, it can direct them by displaying a blue line towards Mecca, without saving any image.

This as well as other services intended for Muslim believers can be found in a special Google site which has been active since 2014 for the month of Ramadan.
